American Dryer Corp., the Fall River-based manufacturer and supplier of washers and dryers, is helping to restore laundry service in areas ravaged last week by Hurricane Sandy.

The company said it is sending a team of laundry service technicians to regions that are in dire need, especially New York and New Jersey.

“The devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy goes beyond our industry and we felt a responsibility to those communities affected to take part in their recovery,” American Dryer Corp. CEO Joe Bazzinotti said in a prepared statement.

“Being in New England, our extended families have been affected like so many others throughout the region,” Bazzinotti added.

Laundromats, as well as other entities that use the company’s laundry machines — such as hotels, nursing homes and industrial textile plants — are among the clients that American Dryer Corp. will be assisting.

Jordan Andrade, the company’s marketing director, said American Dryer Corp. is dedicated to helping laundries operate and offer their communities a place to wash and dry clothes.

“Our technicians are helping to restore the equipment,” Andrade said.

Partnering with Hercules Corp., a Long Island-based route operator, American Dryer Corp. will be distributing laundry machine supplies throughout greater New York and New Jersey. The company’s employees are also donating canned goods, toiletries, diapers and other supplies for shipment.

American Dryer Corp. has also increased production and is building extra inventory to ensure that equipment and parts are available to accommodate their customers’ needs, Andrade said.

For businesses prepared to rebuild their operations, Andrade said American Dryer Corp. has established various programs with special pricing and financing to help laundries resume their business for the long term.

American Dryer Corp. is also advocating donations to the Superstorm Sandy relief efforts by encouraging people to visit www.RedCross.org or to contact info@amdry.com.
